How To Change An Empty Toilet Paper Roll
1. Recognize that the roll is in fact completely empty.
2. Push lightly against the roll holder to release it.
3. Allow the empty roll to slide into the trash (or recycle in some earth-friendly way. Really the point here is to get rid of it. Let your conscience be your guide.)
4. Slide the new, fully-loaded, and oh-so-bountiful roll onto the holder.
5. Locate the empty wall holder. It's been at least ten seconds since you last paid any attention to this part of the holder. You may need to take this slowly and appreciate that it is still right where you left it.
6. Push one end of the holder into the little slot.
7. Secure the other end of the roll holder into the holder attached to the wall.
See!? Now, doesn't that feel good?The truth is that it doesn't bother me that much, but I have run into a streak of empty TP rolls lately... at my church and even today at the place where I got a pedicure. I just think it is funny and wonder if there isn't some God-lesson in this for me. Is this a ministry that I have to help others? It's just so stinkin' ironic that nearly everywhere I go, that this is an issue. We have three bathrooms at my house and it rarely fails that I happen to be the one who manages to show up just as the roll needs changing... no matter which room I choose. Anyway... any requests for next week's Tutorial Tuesday? I'm thinking this could be funny!

This reminds me of a "Mad About You" episode from a long time ago, when the Helen Hunt character comes out of the bathroom- full roll of tp in one hand, the roll-holder (I'm sure there's a correct term for this)in the other. She storms into the other room, where hubby is sitting watching tv, places the tp on the roll holder- right in front of his face, then turns around and walks back into the bathroom, having not uttered a word. That scene plays through my head everytime I come across an empty roll!
Very funny tutorial! Unfortunately, you're probably preaching to the choir here. :)
How about putting the seat down or wiping one's own bodily excrement from the seat? That's a lesson for my house!
Wait! How about merging properly onto the highway or moving over to another lane to allow another person to merge properly? How about changing lanes properly? How about how to use a turn signal? I have a million car-related ones.
This cracked me up!!! I can't wait to see what next week has in store.
